Even democratic Southwest trumps the majors when you spring for the upgrade to Business Select ($10 - $30). It doesn't change leg room but gets you through security faster and onto the plane first (guaranteeing overhead space for your bag). Agreed.

On a recent trip to Austin (for SXSW) the upgrades were sold out, but the cool vibe on the plane more than made up for it. Jet Blue still has a sense of humor, and that counts for a lot in my book. Flying one of the old-line majors is such a joyless experience.
